  He's actually tailor made for the Redskins. They have $40 million in cap money while Miami has $13 million & Arizona has $10 million and a shitty O-Line. I've heard Manning would like a "package deal" of himself, Reggie Wayne & Jeff Saturday. With the money Washington has, they could get all three, along with Pierre Garcon if they wanted him, and STILL go out and get a few guys for the defense while using their high draft picks to fill in other holes. They'd likely be an instant contender with the Giants in the NFC East.

  I dont see Manning playing versus his brother twice a year.

  Manning has already said that he'd "love to play against Eli 2x's per year" and that it would "be good for the NFL."

  I can see this being a driving force for him to sign there. Little bro has kind of put him on the back burner winning his second SB.

  Houston. Book it, f@gs.

  Houston can't even afford to keep Mario Williams ($3-4 million in cap space). How is this going to happen?
• justincredible

  

  I'm hoping the Jets can restructure some guys to free up the cap space. Won't happen, but I can dream.

  It's possible, it's not that hard to create cap space. Remember how many years the Skins used to manage to sign a billion free agents every year despite having no cap room?
  
  If properly motivated with a smart guy running your books it is not hard to make room. That's why teams pay those cap guys so well.

  Just heard about it on Mike&Mike this AM.
  Granted, most people thought he'd be gone but I don't think it became official until they announced the noon meeting today.
  
  Stinks for Colts fans but as a business decision it makes sense.
  
  (edit)
  I'm gonna stick to my Seattle pick for a few more.

  He'll play for 7.50 and hour if he gets to play on a SB favorite and stick it to the Colts twice a season.

  I think his best chance to succeed is in Arizona. Can they pay him? I don't know anything about their cap situation.

  Yeah, I mean Tannenbaum is fantastic with the cap. I just don't think he's going to end up with the Jets.
• Manhattan Buckeye

  Only way with the Jets is with an incentive contract, if Moss works out with the Jets and is also seeking an incentive-laden contract it could be very interesting.
  
  Washington has the cap room, but a lousy supporting cast. If Manning has 1 or 2 more years to win Seattle or Arizona are better choices, but he has to play out west.

  JETS get rid of Ryan, sign both Mannings, AND Archie. Book it.
